Notethisterone- to control my cycle but no period

Hello Ladies,

Got a question, because I have PCOS, my clinic prescribed me Norethisterone 5mg to control my cycle. I am a bit concerned, last month I had my period 3 days after I stopped taking my medication, this month it’s already 4 days, no period sign nor having lower abdomen pain/cramp. How long should i wait and contact the clinic. Has anyone experienced the same. I am due to fly next month for my treatment but cannot get my head round as my period has not arrived

I’ve taken northisterone a few times now and period usually comes between 5-7 days if that helps? You could always call them for advise if you are worried? Best of luck

Thank you dear... a bit relief now... fingercross xx

Hiya, I have just finished my northisterone and my clinic said between 3 and 7 days and it came on day 6, so I would wait a few more days before panicking x

Mine has come on day 5 before, day 4 or day 3 after. So some variation! And as others have said, could be 3-7 days! Try not to panic! (I also didn't get cramps as expecting, it just came- at midnight as well!)Hoping it comes soon for you so you can be reassured and finalise those dates!

It's such a roller-coaster isn't it!!!

I also have PCOS and my clinic said it can take up to 10 days to come. My first cycle of using it, I got my period on day 10 and my second cycle was day 4. Please don’t worry. They will come soon xx
